Hmm. I usually just ask my sister. She reads a ton of this stuff and knows what I like. I should probably develop my own system, though.

Pay close attention to the secondary characters' relationships. If the main couple is great but the best friend is in a toxic situationship that's played for laughs, it tells you something about the author's overall perspective on relationships. Consistency matters. A story that champions clear consent only for the protagonists but uses manipulation or coercion as a joke elsewhere has a flawed foundation.

How an author treats the world around the main romance is a litmus test for their core values. The health of the entire story's social ecosystem speaks volumes.

The graphic novel 'Check, Please!' by Ngozi Ukazu (hockey, m/m) is a fantastic example of consent in a coming-of-age story. The protagonist, Bitty, is navigating college, hockey, and his sexuality. His love interest is consistently patient, never pushes, and their relationship develops through open (if sometimes nervous) conversations. It's incredibly sweet and realistic.

Reading an excerpt from the middle of the book can be more telling than the beginning. Sometimes the start is all setup, and the true dynamic shows up later. Use Amazon's 'Search Inside' feature for a phrase like 'are you sure' or 'is this okay' (in quotes). If those phrases appear in intimate contexts, it's a promising sign that the author includes verbal check-ins. Also, look at the 3- and 4-star reviews. The 5-star reviews are often just 'I loved it!', but the mid-range reviews tend to have more nuanced critique. Someone might give 4 stars and say 'I loved the relationship, though I wish the conflict had been stronger.' That tells you the relationship was the highlight for them. It's a sneaky way to find books where the romantic dynamic is the standout feature.
